According to foreign media reports, the Australian cyber safety regulator is investigating Meta (META.US), Snap (SNAP.US), TikTok, and YouTube for allegedly failing to comply with the social media ban for users under the age of 16.

In its first compliance report, the regulator expressed deep concern about the platforms' adherence to the law, noting significant regulatory gaps. The current safety measures are insufficient to prevent users under 16 from creating new accounts, and some platforms even allow minors to repeatedly attempt the same age verification method until successful.
